  • National Capital Authority
    NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY Submission to House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage Sustainable Cities 2025 1. INTRODUCTION The National Capital Authority has prepared this submission in response to the inquiry by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage into issues and policies related to the development of sustainable cities to the year 2025. The Authority has been guided in its response by the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry provided by the Standing Committee: Terms of Reference • The environmental and social impacts of sprawling urban development; • The major determinants of urban settlement patterns and desirable patterns of development for the growth of Australian cities; • A ‘blueprint’ for ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement, with particular reference to eco-efficiency and equity in the provision of services and infrastructure; • Measures to reduce the environmental, social and economic costs of continuing urban expansion; and • Mechanisms for the Commonwealth to bring about urban development reform and promote ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement. The Authority’s submission provides the relevant background information on the Authority's role in planning and development in the ACT, and how the Authority both addresses and influences sustainability in its role to achieve ‘a National Capital which symbolises Australia’s heritage, values and aspirations, is internationally recognised, and which Australian’s are proud’. It sets out the provisions of the National Capital Plan applicable to sustainability and identifies initiatives undertaken by the Authority to create a more sustainable environment. 2. NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY The National Capital Planning Authority was established in 1989 as part of the introduction of self-government in the ACT, with a view to securing the Federal Government’s continuing interest in the planning and development of Canberra as Australia’s National Capital.

  • The Old Sheep Camp on Mount Majura
    The Old Sheep Camp on Mount Majura Research on the history of the site and a management plan for its rehabilitation. By William Mudford Venturer Scout at Majura Mountain Scouts Research assisted by Waltraud Pix Co-ordinator of Friends of Mount Majura Park Care Group William Mudford’s Queen Scout Environment Project on Mount Majura Sheep Camp: Page 1 Introduction Mount Majura is located in the North of the Australian Capital Territory. A majority of Mount Majura is currently run as a Nature Reserve. Many parts of the reserve have infestations of non- indigenous plants, or weeds, because of prior land use and farming practices. One particular site, at the top of the Casuarina trail, on the saddle between Mount Majura and Mount Ainslie, known as the “Old Sheep Camp” is particularly infested with weeds. In my project I investigated the history of the site, the reasons for the weed infestation and the methods of rehabilitation the local park care group have available to them, and are utilising. This project seeks to answer the following questions about the site: 1. Who owned and managed the area and how was it used before it became a Nature Reserve? 2. What are the reasons for the heavy weed infestation on the site? 3. What processes and procedures can the local environment group use to rehabilitate the area?
